Which nation won the most gold medals at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics?

The United States won the most gold medals at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, with 39.

The Tokyo Games were held in 2021 rather than 2020 because the COVID-19 pandemic caused a postponement. Despite the delayed schedule, the event retained its official name, Tokyo 2020. The United States finished first in gold medals, narrowly ahead of China, which won 38.

The United States collected 113 medals overall, including 41 silver and 33 bronze. China won 88 medals, while the host nation Japan finished third in the gold-medal table with 27. Medal-table rankings can differ depending on whether countries are ordered by gold medals or by total medals.

The Games ran from 23 July to 8 August 2021, with some events beginning before the opening ceremony. Tokyo 2020 was the first Summer Olympics held under extensive pandemic restrictions, including largely empty venues and limits on spectators.
